I can't recommend this restaurant enough! The food is outstanding, and the service is exceptional—Misa truly is the star of the show. Plus, they have a fantastic bar and TVs for sports events, making it the perfect spot to unwind with friends. Don't miss out—make sure to visit and experience it for yourself!

5 star service all the way. This place is the best hidden gem ever. The steak and eggs are chefs kiss and the chilaquiles were soooo yummy. The fresh squeezed orange juice was so refreshing. The atmosphere here so calm and relaxing. When in Puerto Vallarta this place is a must.

We have eaten here twice and enjoyed it both times! I had the best burrito I have eaten in Mexico, a wonderful “Mismaloya” salad (lettuce, beets, cranberries, goat cheese, apples, pears etc, and my husband had the best club sandwich ever, with chicken breast, bacon, tomatoes, cheese, ham etc etc, and FABULOUS margaritas, all at a reasonable price. It is a covered, open air restaurant by the river in Mismaloya. The owner and his chef wife are personable and the service is excellent! We highly recommend El Patio del Cuale!

The food was amazing. The staff was accommodating with us not knowing a lot of Spanish. Great environment. All I could think about, though, was the movie Predator as it filmed around here

This one one of the best restaurants we went to on our vacation. We stopped here after the zoo and had some amazing food and drinks and a lot of fun. The service was excellent and the food was even better. Prices were very reasonable and they did a great job at accommodating the toddler in our group. I cannot recommend this place enough! A must go if you’re in the area.

We had several meals at this cute place. We ate the pico de Gallo, Caesar salads, Mismaloya Salad, eggs Benedict. No one got sick - this was my biggest fear - raw vegetables. The owners and staff were hospitable, kind, and friendly. The banana pancakes were the best!

Was in Mismaloya for the night and my daughter and I walked up from our hotel at Hotel Casa Iguana. Manuel was our server and he did a great job. He recommended the mango margarita and it was delicious! We ordered a club sandwich and a BLT to go because we had a super early morning. The sandwich’s, service and atmosphere was awesome, we definitely will come back and eat there again!
